and saying, “The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, abiding trust] in the good news [regarding salvation].”

Jesus went to her, and taking her by the hand, raised her up; and the fever left her, and she began to serve them [as her guests].

Moved with compassion [for his suffering], Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

Again Jesus went into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered.

He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up and come forward!”

After looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness and arrogance of their hearts, He told the man, “Hold out your hand.” And he held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored.

Taking the child’s hand, He said [tenderly] to her, “Talitha kum!”—which translated [from Aramaic] means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”

And the disciples picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces [of the loaves], and of the fish.

so you nullify the [authority of the] word of God [acting as if it did not apply] because of your tradition which you have handed down [through the elders]. And you do many things such as that.”

They brought to Him a man who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?” They answered, “Twelve.”

Taking the blind man by the hand, He led him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?”

He was stating the matter plainly [not holding anything back]. Then Peter took Him aside and began to reprimand Him.

But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he stood up.

If your hand causes you to stumble and sin, cut it off [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]! It is better for you to enter life crippled, than to have two hands and go into hell, into the unquenchable fire,

They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit [with You], one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory [Your majesty and splendor in Your kingdom].”

But to sit on My right or left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared [by My Father].”

But shall we say, ‘From men?’” —they were afraid [to answer because] of the crowd, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet.

David himself said [when inspired] by the Holy Spirit,

‘The Lord (the Father) said to my Lord (the Son, the Messiah),
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

Brother will betray brother to [be put to] death, and a father [will hand over] his child; and children will rise up and take a stand against parents and have them put to death.

Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve [disciples], went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

Get up, let us go. Look, my betrayer is near!”

Jesus said, “I am; and you will [all] see the Son of Man seated [with authority] at the right hand of Power (the Father), and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

They crucified two robbers with Him, one on His right and one on His left.

So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
